Is That All There Is? (Single Edit)

i remember when i was a little girl

my mother that on the body face

as he dragged me out of the building

and onto the pavement

and i stood there shivering in my pajamas

and watch the whole world go up in flames

and when it was all over i said to myself

is that all there is to a fire

is that all there is

is that all there is

if that's all there is my friend

then let's keep dancing

let's break out the booze and have a ball

if that's all there is

and when i was sixteen years old

i went to my first night i was really excited

and there were bored looking bankers

dancing with beautiful models

and there were boys with dyed hair

and spandex t shirts dancing with each other

and as i sat there watching

i felt that something was missing

i don't know what

but when i hit her home i said to myself

is that all there is to a disco is that all there is

is that all there is

if that's all there is my friends

then let's keep dancing

let's break out the booze and have a ball

if that's all there

and then i fell in love

with the most wonderful boy in manhattan

we take a long walk down by the river

and sometimes he'd rough me up

but i loved him i'd kill for that guy

but then one day james went

away i thought i'd die but i didn't

and when i didn't i said to myself

is that all there is to love

is there all there is

if that's all there is

if that's all there is my friend

then let's keep dancing

let's break out the rules and have a ball

if that's all there is

i know what you must be saying to yourself

if she feels that way about it

why does she just take a long walk on a short pier

oh no not me i'm not ready for that

'cause i know

just as well as i'm standing here talking at you

that when the final moment comes

when i'm breathing my last i'll be saying to my so

is that all there is

is that all there is

that's all there is my friends

then let's keep dancing

let's break out the booze and have a ball
